intimate friends of Count De Lesseps met
him at the railway station on his return
from Berlin last night. In an interview he
expressed the greatest pleasure at the kind
reception accorded him by everybody in Ber-
lin. As a result of the conversations he had
with Emfe-Sf ssssf p isIsr1a-c::s
he said he could affirm that there would be
no war. The Emperor told him Sunday that
Germany would never attack France. The

the Car was returning frem requiem ser
vice in the Cathedral of st. Peter and ST.
Paul, bomb attached to a cord was thrown
in his direction. The intention was to tight
en- the string which was connected mechan-
ism, and thus explode the bomb, but before
1t could be executed the criminal and sus-
pected accomplice were seized. 1t was found
that they lived together in lodging house
In suburb of the city. The police visited
this house and discovered there a quantity
OF explosives and number Of revolutionary
pamphlets.
Over 200 persons have already been arrest

nary visits are being made throughout the
city. The German police had warned the
Russian authorities that an attempt was to
to be made against the Cars life, but the
latter failed to trace the plotters.
A telegram from Vienna confirms the
News despatch and says that the bomb was
thrown under the Cars carriage, and that
it was shaped like book so that it could be
carried in the hand without exciting suspic-
ion.
A despatch from st. Petersburg to the
Standard says that one of the six students
arrested in connection with the dynamite
plot, carried hollow book containing a bot
lie filled with dynamite, and a poisoned bull
let. Others had parcels and bags containing
bombs. The despatch also says it is alleged
that woman arrested had bomb concealed
in her muff.

ceiyed dispatches confirming the reports of

Car and the arrest Of the ringleaders. These
dispatches say no actual attempt was made
TO kill the Gar as the plot had been discOv-
cred before he left the palace. The British
government has received dispatches TO that
effect from Sir K. ID. Morrier, British Am
bassador at st. Petersburg.
